title: Congenital dysplasias and dwarfism.
abstract: This paper has presented the characteristic features of those types of dwarfism that are manifest at birth. This information has been presented in a fashion that should assist the pediatrician in arriving at an appropriate diagnosis without excessive delay or extensive diagnostic studies. However, variable expressivity may result in subtle presentation and, in those cases, diagnosis may be more challenging.
